Pauls jobs for the month
General Maintenance

n With weeks of leaf fall to come use
your mower to hoover up leaves
from your lawn. The leaves make
a great addition to your compost
heap.
n Take advantage of any dry days
to paint fences, sheds etc with a
preservative
n Cover ponds with netting to keep
out falling leaves.
n Rough dig over vegetable patches
and leave it in lumps or ridges to
be broken down gradually by the
winter frosts and rain.
n Clean down garden furniture
and store it for the winter or buy
a furniture cover if it is to stay
outside.

Flower Garden
n Plant a layered bulb pot. Fill the
base of a large pot with potting
compost up to around 10 inches
from the top. Put in daffodils and
cover with compost. Then plant a
layer of tulip bulbs and again cover
with compost. Finally add a layer
of crocus bulbs and fill to the top of
your pot. Hopefully you should get
a succession of colour firstly from
the crocus followed by the daffodils
and then the tulips.
n Cut back all of the tall shrubs such
as lavatera and buddleia.

Pauls

n Now is the time to take hardwood
cuttings from buddleia, flowering
currants and forsythia
n Good time to plant bare root
trees
n Dahlias should be lifted at the end
of the month. Cut down the stems
to a few inches. Dig up the tubers
and remove any loose soil and
store upside down for a couple of
weeks to dry. Remove more soil
and store in dark cool frost free
trays with a little dry compost if
you wish.
n Prune climbing roses
n Clear any fallen rose leaves to
prevent black spot from over
wintering
n Clear old leaves from hostas

Vegetable & Fruit
Garden
n Harvest any pumpkins and
squashes before the first frost
n Plant garlic
n Lift any remaining potatoes
before slug damage occurs
n In the vegetable plot you can
now plant spring cabbage and
overwintering onion sets.
n Plant new fruit trees and bushes.
Choose ‘bare root’ plants, they
usually cost less than pot grown
ones.

GARDEN SERVICES

n Good time to divide your
rhubarb crowns
n Continue to harvest your
apples and pears

Lawn Maintenance
n By the end of the month you
will probably have given your
lawn its final cut of the year.
After this it is a good time to
give the grass a good scarifying
with a lawn rake to pull out
dead grass and moss.

This months
poem...
“The harvest moon hangs round and high
It dodges clouds high in the sky,
The stars wink down their love and mirth
The Autumn season is giving birth.
Oh, it must be October
The leaves of red bright gold and brown,
To Mother Earth come tumbling down,
The breezy nights the ghostly sights,
The eerie spooky far off sounds
Are signs that it’s October.
The pumpkins yellow, big and round
Are carried by costumed clumsy clowns
It’s Halloween - let’s celebrate.”

The rugby season has well and truly kicked off with plenty of action on the pitches across all sections of the club.
Big news off the pitch this summer is that the club has welcomes Servest as new main club sponsor.

A successful final pre-season match away against National League 1 Club, Flyde Rugby Club in Lancashire, put
spirits high in the Wolfpack (1XV) camp. Just a week later though a 50-26 loss in the first league match of the
season in front of the Haberden crowd dampened the mood. Lots of hard work throughout the week and a new
determination saw the Wolfpack win the second game away at Broadstreet 20-16. With a solid win under their belts
the team is now focused for the challenge ahead. Meanwhile The Wolfhounds (2XV) enjoyed a 45-25 win against
Colchester and the Wolves (3XV) similarly 17-5 against Cottenham Renegades. The Rovers (4XV) and the club’s
social team didn’t fare so well, perhaps a little out of practice over the summer, conceding 48 to their 3 against
Ipswich YM.
The Junior Academy started their season off well, winning a very close game
against Framlingham College by one point in an early season friendly. Youth are
back into the swing of things, preparing for the season with training for all age
groups over the summer. The U16s headed to Netherlands on tour, coming back
with three wins out of three. For the ladies, training has been non-stop in the
summer months, as several new faces joined the league winning Foxes squad.
New coaches for the Foxes and Vixens, the U16 girls too, and there’s undeniable
buzz in the ladies section. For the minis the first week back also meant brand new
kit for all the youth and minis coaches, sponsored by East Anglian Legal Services
Company, Ashtons Legal. A brand new award, The Ashtons Legal Coaches
Squad of the Week award was launched with the first recipient, the new U6s.
The club’s much talked about new undercover seated stand is due for completion
by the end of September, in time for tougher wintery months ahead for spectators.

Mini Rugby

The club welcomes new members, players from age 6 upwards, and social members of all ages. Membership
details can be found on the club website www.bserufc.co.uk

72 | OCTOBER 2017

Bury St Edmunds Minis have been enjoying training on Sunday mornings at
the Haberden, turn out has been good and enthusiasm high after the summer
break. Welcome to the new cohort of Under 6’s (year 1 at school) who have been
having great fun learning new skills and making friends. The coaches have been
undertaking yet more study to keep their skills fresh and to make sure that our
players are getting the best possible start to their rugby career at BSE RUFC.
Great pride is taken on the standard of coaching that every child receives.
Last Saturday saw the U11’s turn to be the Guard of Honour for the Bury St
Edmunds 1XV (photo attached). The U11’s cheered, clapped and high fived the
senior players as then entered the pitch looking forward to one day when they may
be running out as seniors in their club colours.
